Adding a fireplace

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a WB fireplace to an aparement?  Some of my friends in Amsterdamn added one to their apartment and it looks great.  It’s free standing with a large metal duct coming out of it, going up through their roof or something.

Ok these answers are a good help. Now, assuming one had a top floor apartment and permission from the board was not an issue, where would one go to see options, get an idea of cost, etc.

also rules about where in your apartment. bedrooms for example in particular have more strict rules…

There are defnitely a number of options for this.  They can be free standing or against the wall, or possibly even hanging.  The big determining factor will be running the flue through whatever is upstairs.   Jim Hill, RA, LEED AP Urban Pioneering Architecture
